The damage Rachel Dolezal has done

The fascinating Rachel Dolezal story has more layers than one of those flaky Pillsbury biscuits. Shes the president of the Spokane, Wash., chapter of the NAACP and a professor of African American studies at Eastern Washington University, who was outed as not actually being African American. Her years of deception came to an end after her inability to answer a simple question at the end of an interview with KXLY television reporter Jeff Humphrey. Are you an African American? he asked. After a long, blinkless and blank stare, Dolezal said, I dont understand the question.
Chil, please!
Dolezal most definitely understood the question, which is why she took flight 16 seconds after Humphreys query. She posted a picture of herself last January with a black man on her Facebook page who she claimed was her father. And she checked African American and all the other race choices on an application for a public position in Spokane. Those turned out to be two loose threads that quickly unraveled once pulled by Humphrey and Dolezals own white parents.

She claimed the answer to the question was very “complicated” so, in the lingo of the modern lunatic asylum, she should be self-identifying as racequeer or, if she’s no longer confused, transblack.

Looking back on it, when I went for that State job I should have woke up that morning identifying as a black woman and got the extra 20 points.

Has she committed a crime?
Probably not.
Has she made the entire liberal educational establishment look like a bunch of absolute idiots?
Most definitely..................

Still the Post can't bring itself to be honest about the topic. She took on a black identity because she wanted to share the advantages: a sense of grievance, a sense of oppression, a sense of self-righteousness, a sense of entitlement, a full-ride scholarship, and employment in well-paying jobs in the grievance industry. That's why she did it. That any of that stuff exists at all is the topic at hand and they're avoiding it like a vampire avoids holy water.
To: Second Amendment First
The damage she has done is to expose the hypocrisy and outright lunacy of the Left’s gender and racial victim agenda.

That’s exactly it. The ultimate expression of liberal white privilege is to claim to be black.

LOL They are crazy.

A little make up and a frizzy wig and you can experience “Black Privilege”
How is she any different from Al Jolsen?

I skipped the food and went straight for messican beer. You get to full beanerhood faster that way.
Now, if I can just find a way to become illegal I’ll be waaaay ahead of the game.

In all fairness to her, the entire liberal educational establishment has been doing a find job of making themselves look like absolute idiots without her help.
It’s not a difficult task when you actually ARE absolute idiots!
